Lollies to be given to Leeds city clubbers to keep them quiet

But councillors heard that people living in the nearby K2 Apartments had raised fears over noise and anti-social behaviour.

Tony Whitfield, on behalf of K2 tenants, said there had been problems in the past with the venue under its previous names and operators.

“Sound really does resonate through the building,” he said.

However, Mr Nejrup said noise-limiting measures taken at the premises had included moving the outdoor smoking area and the use of acoustic panelling in the downstairs club area.

“There should be no noise leakage from that nightclub,” he said.

Meanwhile, speaking about the idea of giving lollipops to clubbers at the venue, Mr Nejrup added: “As daft as it sounds, people tend to become quiet when they have something in their mouth.”
